LBP36? Hi Luis, I noticed that your selling a LBP36, and was wondering why your selling the pack? Noticed that you have not used the pack either? Is this your first McHale pack? |

Good idea Yeah, I'd say you'd easliy be good with the -15deg at zero degree weather. You can always add clothing and a hot Nalgene too, should things get a lttle colder! http://outdoors.webshots.c... |

Good points Yeah I'd agree, Winter is not the time to be cutting any corners. Extra warm clothing is a must. I guess it might be somewhat safe to go superlight, "IF" you're not too far back-i... |

-30 I have the -30, and IMHO, it would not keep one warm at -20, without sleeping in extra heavy clothing. I'm talking Mtn. Hardwear Chugah(spelling) pants, and a Patagonia Das Parka. The 6'6... |

+1 +1 for what David said, the packs you mention are too small volume wise for a 3lb bag and a tent. You might get away with using a ULA Catalyst, but if it were me, I'd be looking into a larger f... |

Good idea Thanks Kevin and everyone else too. Probably makes more sense to look around locally first, as there are a more than a few sew/vac shops in my area for sure. |

Phaff 130 I haven't looked at any of the local sewing repair shops, so no telling what I'll find? I like this below too, although probably overkill? Seems like it would be much easier to work with... |

McHale Chasm I bought my McHale Chasm pack to be my one and only do-all pack, and I've not been disappointed in the least. First off, the workmanship is second to none. Next and most importantly is the fit. ... |

ULA Ohm As with all of ULA's gear, their workmanship is excellent. Load transfer is good, and I could remove .9L plattys, from the side pockets, without needing to remove the pack. I would have scored th... |

Mountain Laurel Designs Zip I just recently received my Zip pack, delivered as promised, within 8 weeks. First off the workmanship is probably the best I've seen, easily on par with ULA. The Green Sil-nylon is thicker th... |
